This implements a new option "git gc --auto". When gc.auto is
set to a positive value, and the object database has accumulated
roughly that many number of loose objects, this runs a
lightweight version of "git gc". The primary difference from
the full "git gc" is that it does not pass "-a" option to "git
repack", which means we do not try to repack _everything_, but
only repack incrementally. We still do "git prune-packed". The
default threshold is arbitrarily set by yours truly to:
- not trigger it for fully unpacked git v0.99 history;
- do trigger it for fully unpacked git v1.0.0 history;
- not trigger it for incremental update to git v1.0.0 starting
from fully packed git v0.99 history.
This patch does not add invocation of the "auto repacking". It
is left to key Porcelain commands that could produce tons of
loose objects to add a call to "git gc --auto" after they are
done their work.

Make every builtin-*.c file #include "builtin.h".
Also takes care of some declaration/definition mismatches.

I've taught myself to use "git gc" instead of doing the repack explicitly,
but it doesn't actually do what I think it should do.
We've had packed refs for a long time now, and I think it just makes sense
to pack normal branches too. So I end up having to do
git pack-refs --all --prune
in order to get a nice git repo that doesn't have any unnecessary files.
So why not just do that in "git gc"? It's not as if there really is any
downside to packing branches, even if they end up changing later. Quite
often they don't, and even if they do, so what?
Also, make the default for refs packing just be an unambiguous "do it",
rather than "do it by default only for non-bare repositories". If you want
that behaviour, you can always just add a
[gc]
packrefs = notbare
in your ~/.gitconfig file, but I don't actually see why bare would be any
different (except for the broken reason that http-fetching used to be
totally broken, and not doing it just meant that it didn't even get
fixed in a timely manner!).
So here's a trivial patch to make "git gc" do a better job. Hmm?

This option causes 'git gc' to more aggressively optimize the
repository at the cost of taking much more wall clock and CPU time.
Today this option causes git-pack-objects to use --no-use-delta
option, and it allows the --window parameter to be set via the
gc.aggressiveWindow configuration parameter.
